A Tribute to
MY Uncle Liam

I hope you got your wings,
And I pray that you can fly.
What a way to go,
What a way to die.
Leaving me alone,
Leaving me to cry.

Did you live your life -
The way you dreamed you would?
Did you love your life -
Would you come back if you could?
We know you loved us all,
And you know we loved you too.

I would like to start again,
Start it all anew.
I know I'll see you in heaven -
I'll see you at the gate -
If it takes awhile for me to go -
Do you promise me you'll wait?
